Google Dictionary Changes

By admin

Interesting. I wasn’t aware of what dictionary Big G licensed to support searches. Now I am. I wonder if the change was driven by quality or cost?

Google Dictionary Has a New Content Provider

“Google’s English dictionary switched from the Collins COBUILD Advanced Learner’s English Dictionary to the Oxford Pocket Dictionary of Current English. The definitions from the Collins dictionary are easier to understand, while the Oxford dictionary is more traditional.”

I use the ‘define’ command in Google a lot. Ot’s simple and I can chose the definition that best fits my needs.

Most libraries have a selection of dictionaries as well. Lord knows that defining words is an art!
